Oricon has released two statistical books – (1) "Single Chart-Book Complete Edition 1970~2005" & (2) "Album Chart-Book Complete Edition 1970~2005". The books detail various artistes single and album sales, from release date to end 2005.
Guess who is No1 in term of no of weeks on the chart? Not our dear 姫、unfortunately. It’s….. drums rolling….. 山口百恵さん! Our dear 姫 is right behind 松田聖子さん, at No 5…
Actually if you think about it, it’s not surprising that our dear 姫 lose out to 山口百恵さん & 松田聖子さん. On average, our dear 姫 released 2-3 single per year in the 80s, compared to 山口百恵さん & 松田聖子さん who introduce one single every three months.
I guess if Oricon ranks by sales, our dear 姫 may beat 山口百恵さん …
Anyway, here’s the write-up ^^/
